    CONTROL OF CIVIL BUILDING. Since the commencement of the Control of Civil Building in 1945, the Sanitary Inspector has undertaken the duties of Licensing Officer to the Council. This work has added considerably to both the inspectoral and clerical work of the department, as each application necessitates individual investigation and consideration. With the continued restriction on building labour and materials the number of permits and licences required by builders and contractors to execute their normal work tend to increase. The operation of the Control of Building Operation (No. 8) Order, 1947 on the 1st February, 1947 will further increase the w'ork and responsibiliti^ of the department in this matter.
